THE STORY OF MINI.

DEFYING CONVENTION, SINCE 1959.

Clever. Personable. Unique. These are the qualities that MINI was founded on, and the very same that define MINI today. The Original Mini (lower case prior to our relaunch in 2002) dared to be different. It was a small, fuel-efficient car, born in 1959 as a creative solution to the threat of rising gas prices during the Suez Oil Crisis. With its space-maximizing transversely-mounted engine and wheels-pushed-out design, it was unlike any other car around. And it wasn’t long before people began to take notice.

Everyone from rock stars to royalty became smitten with the Mini’s combination of quintessential British charm and motoring fun. Youth culture celebrated its convention-defying aesthetic. Families valued the everyday practicality and efficiency it afforded. Motorsport enthusiasts revered its corner-carving agility. The Mini was ahead of its time. It didn’t reinvent the wheel. But it revolutionized the idea of what an automobile could be. Today, similar principles and spirit apply to all five MINI models. With all-new levels of technology, performance, and practicality, we make even a family car fun again.

THE STORY OF MINI.

WHAT DROVE US THEN,
INSPIRES US NOW.

Nearly six decades later, the heart and soul of the Original Mini lives on in the new MINI lineup. Each and every model in the range is imbued with the same boundary-pushing design innovations that made the first Mini such a hit in its day. And with premium, modern enhancements, added touches of sophistication and versatility, as well as an engine that is more powerful and fuel-efficient than ever before, the modern MINI lineup is – without a doubt – the most exciting yet.

WHAT MAKES A MINI?

MOTORSPORT DNA

DRIVING FUN

PREMIUM QUALITY

ICONIC DESIGN

EVERYDAY VERSATILITY

ADVANCED SAFETY

MOTORSPORT DNA.

In 1961, British racing pioneer John Cooper transformed the humble Mini into an agile rally racer. Against all odds, this determined underdog would take the racing scene by storm, and notch three wins at the prestigious Monte Carlo Rally between 1964 and 1967. The same indomitable spirit that fuelled John Cooper lives on in today’s MINI John Cooper Works (JCW) lineup. Each JCW model is outfitted with signature details that embody the very essence of motorsport and tuned to achieve racing-class performance to make your everyday drives extra fun. Safe to say our namesake would be proud.

DRIVING FUN.

Drive a MINI once, and the bends in the road will never feel the same again. Thanks to its wheels-pushed-out design and tightly-tuned suspension system, a MINI is designed to deliver impeccably precise handling on curves and corners alike. Some drivers equate its razor-sharp responsiveness to that of a go-kart; others, a rollercoaster. No matter which way you cut it, one thing’s for certain: A MINI is pure driving fun, at every turn.

PREMIUM QUALITY.

There is a distinct difference between mass production and premium craftsmanship, and it’s instantly noticeable the second you open the door of a MINI. Once inside, you’ll discover a sophisticated interior adorned with top-shelf surface finishes, handcrafted accents, and intuitive connectivity features. Engage the ignition and hear the difference that BMW Group Engineering makes in the production of our engines. Include the fact that all new MINIs come with a standard No-Charge Scheduled Maintenance plan, which covers regular maintenance for 3 years / 40,000 km, and it’ll become pretty clear why so many quality-focused car buyers gravitate towards MINI. Or why models like the MINI 3 door and Countryman have been recognized in the industry as being among the best at retaining their value.

ICONIC DESIGN.

MINI has always been at the forefront of inventive design, and today’s MINI remains as innovative as ever. Each hallmark design element – from our “plant-on” roof, to our low and wide stance – has been thoughtfully crafted to pack as much possible space and punch into one package. We call it design with purpose, and it’s the principle that guides everything we create.

EVERYDAY VERSATILITY.

Every MINI is artfully designed to make your daily drives convenient, safe, comfortable, and fully connected. Step inside and discover a spacious cabin outfitted with state-of-the-art technology and premium, practical features. Open the hatch door and uncover flexible storage solutions, including foldable rear seats and a hidden cargo compartment. Tackle treacherous terrain and challenging conditions with MINI’s ALL4 All-Wheel Drive system, available in the MINI Countryman and Clubman. With MINI, there is no shortage of features to make the journey as functional as it is fun.

ADVANCED SAFETY.

We believe the best way to stay safe on the road is to avoid danger altogether. Which is why we equip our cars with a range of active safety features like Dynamic Stability Control, Cornering Brake Control, or ALL4 All-Wheel Drive (standard on the MINI Clubman and Countryman) to help you steer clear of hazardous driving situations. But in the event a collision is unavoidable, you can rest assured knowing that passive safety features like our Crash Sensor System or SMART Airbags will immediately engage to minimize risk and the potential for injury.
